Building: 421 Broome Street

419-421 Broome Street is a five-story commercial building built in 1873 by Thomas & Sons. Some identifying features of Thomas’ designs are rusticated arches, wide expanses of glass and the use of cast-iron balustrades to embellish a building’s façade – the pinnacle of which is a central arched pediment. The building has 50’ of frontage on Broome St. and an extreme depth of 111’. 419-421 Broome Street still exudes its original grandeur as an architectural masterpiece today.

The building is currently a live/work collection of three 4400-sq. ft. condominium loft residences, an incomparable 7,634 sq. ft. penthouse residence with multiple 3,445 sq. ft. terraces, and a street-level commercial duplex that is the current showroom and design studio of renowned interior designer Thomas O’Brien of Aero Studio.
